Course Reviews
Full of history and nostalgia. Weather awful when I played; wind and rain. Great greens but many blind shots, needs to be played more than once to appreciate. Course Rangers keep an eye on you and provide useful advice re next shot etc. Keep the ball on the left to avoid most bunkers.
